Hello Bill, I hadn;t heard that expression myself, I was assuming she meant 'Waist-slip" as in a half underskirt. But, then in the next to last paragraph of the letter Dorothy says she is going to post the waist, and next to it in brackets she put (Blouse), so it is a short sleeved Blouse. You may be interested in the next but one letter I will be typing, think that will be No 12, Dorothy crashes the 'High Priced Car' she was so proud of. OOps!!
